A Guide to some Heroside Accolades:

Accolades

While all accolades (or at least most) can be very helpful. It would be great if we all focused on getting the +hit point accolades, as goals with our builds are mainly to cap hit points (to survive spikes). There are 3 +hp accolades. I am only going to run down the hero version of them since almost the whole team (and every person I have talked to) is playing a hero (or working on switching to hero).

1. Portal Jockey- gives 5% hp and 5% end
Badges needed: Dimensional Warder, Shrouded, Multidimensional, and Scholastic
To obtain:
DW- Run the NEW Maria Jenkins arc, then run Siege's single mission and an Antimatter mission (I have both of these single missions, Maria can be run through ozone or on a character 45+ by getting the contact). Alternately, you can run Maria's OLD arc and then the Antimatter mission, but the old arc is much longer. You need to kill 14 AVs in the arcs for this badge (Shadowhunter is not needed).
Multidimensional- Enter the "The Hydra Dimension" (40-45) (you can go in and back out to earn the badge)
Shrouded- Enter Nightstar's roof top mission map. This is in ozone listed as "Black Shroud Dimension" (46-50)
Scholastic- Read 3 plaques (#1 in FF #1 and #2 in Bricks)

2. Freedom Phalanx Reserve Member- gives 10% hp
Badges needed: Tank Buster, Gearsmasher, Unveiler, Regal, Brawler, Vigorous, Summoned, Keen Sighted, Purifier, Nimble Mynx, Authority

Good stuff. Thanks MP.

Thank you for the information. Very useful...

I do need help on Portal Jockey as I went too fast and out leveled past Tina Macintyre. I can't seem to find anyone at level 40-45 that has her.

TB

I have the Anti-Matter mission on a character. Takes just a few minutes to stealth to the end and kill him.

Sorry for the late reply, but Thursday would work best for me (evening EST) to do the Anit-Matter mission from Tina Macintyre. So if either PhillyGirl or ir0x0r are around, that would be great.

Thanks for helping.
